The chemical compositions, surface morphologies and mechanical properties of the films were investigated by X-ray photoelectron spectrometer(XPS), scanning electron microscopy(SEM) and nanoindentation depth-sensing technique, respectively. The results indicate that the major chemical compositions of the films are Ti and O. The principal mechanism for the nucleation and growth of the films is homogeneous nucleation, and the layer number of films has great influence on the surface morphology and roughness of the films. In addition, mechanical nanoindentation testing presents a significant increase in hardness and fracture toughness of titanium dioxide multilayered films compared with single-layer titanium dioxide thin film.展开更多

The influence of periods on microstructure, adhesion and hardness of [Ti/TiB2]n multilayered films was studied. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis shows that the monolayer TiB2 films exhibit (001) preferred orientation, and the preferred orientation of [Ti/TiB2], multilayered films transfers from (001) to (100) with the increase of periods. The cross-sectional morphology of each film displays homogeneity by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM). The hardness of the films measured via nanoindention changes from 20 to 26 GPa with the increase of periods. These values of hardness are a bit lower than that of the monolayer TiB2 films which is up to 33 GPa. However, the [Ti/TiB2]n multilayered films present a considerably good adhesion, which reaches a maximum of 24 N, in comparison with the monolayer TiB2 films according to the experimental results.展开更多

The micrograph taken by a scanning electron microscope showsthe microstructures of the materials in detail. Scattering parameters of the waveguide sample holderfilled with the materials have been obtained over X band. The electromagnetic parameters computedfrom the measured S parameters show that the material with metallic hollow spheres has as highrelative permeability μ'_r as 19.0 with about 0.6 magnetic loss tangent over the whole bandwidth.Compared to the material with non-metallic spheres, the permeability μ'_r and the magnetic losstangent μ'_r increase greatly, while the permittivity remains lower than 1.8.展开更多

With three different combinations, namely, PZT, PT/PZT-PZT/PT, and PT/PZT/-/PZT/PT, three multilayer thin films were deposited on three Pt-Ti-Si3N4-SiO2-Si substrates by a modified sol-gel process. The fabrication process of the thin films is discussed in detail. We found that there is a large built-in stress in the thin film, which can be diminished by annealing at 600 ℃, when the gel is turned into solid material through drying and sintering. The Raman scattering spectra of the films with different compositions and structures were investigated. With the help of X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyzer and Raman scattering spectra analyzer, it was found that the thin films with the PT/PZT-PZT/PT structure have reasonable crystallinity and less residual stress. XRD testing shows that the diffraction pattern of the multilayer film results from the superimposition of the PZT and PT patterns. This leads to the conclusion that the PT/PZT-PZT/PT multilayer thin film has a promising future in pyroelectric infrared detectors with high performance.展开更多
